Answer 5

Do you know what scientific notation is?

Answer 6

Scientific notation is the way that scientists handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10-9.

Answer 7

So it would be....

Answer 8

You could say 10^5. 10*10*10*10*10

Answer 9

Okay, go ahead.

Answer 10

Have you tried attaching the file? Or posting a new question?

Answer 11

You must be reading my thoughts! No, I won't get mad at you.

Answer 12

Of course! Close this question and open a new one in math, and tag me like this: @shifuyanli

Answer 13

Okay, I will see you there. If you have trouble, pm me.

Answer 14

Pm? Private message. Although, it's not really private.

Answer 15

Calm down. I got you. LOL! I explained, now to the solving.

Answer 16

In scientific notation, you move the decimal place until you have a number between 1 and 10.

Answer 17

Then you add a power of ten that tells how many places you moved the decimal.

Answer 18

in scientific notation, 2,890,000,000 becomes 2.89 x 109. How?

Remember that any whole number can be written with a decimal point. For example: 2,890,000,000 = 2,890,000,000.0
Now, move the decimal place until you have a number between 1 and 10. If you keep moving the decimal point to the left in 2,890,000,000 you will get 2.89.
Next, count how many places you moved the decimal point. You had to move it 9 places to the left to change 2,890,000,000 to 2.89. You can show that you moved it 9 places to the left by noting that the number should be multiplied by 109.
2.89 x 109 = 2.89 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
2.89 x 109 = 2,890,000,000
